POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast
I'm of the mind that if we stay fit, can get over the suns on the GC, then we're in this up to our necks. The WC and Freo losses rocked my faith and then watching Petracca go down I thought all over. The last few weeks have been very good and I just don't see an unbridgeable gap between us and anyone above us. Put us in a Prelim V the Blues and anything could happen. People criticising Goodwin atm......have they missed the fact that he's just turned over our list mid window? I was pessimistic at the beginning of the season because I didn't see it either and maybe my renewed faith is premature but I'm very bullish on the Dee's atm.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
I'm potentially the one about to wear egg re. Jefferson. He's certainly taken some solid strides this season but the calls to play him feel very premature.

Would love Waterman but he’ll stay put Im guessing

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast
I say we win the last 8 and hit the finals at speed..............My dream is to beat Collingwood in round 23 and in the first week of the finals. Then roll the Bombers in a semi and Carlton in a Prelim. Then roll the Swans in the GF with Gawn giving Grundy a Masterclass and Oliver winning the Norm Smith.....Seriously folks could footy life get any better than that?

Christian Salem - Elite or Good Ordinary
Keeper for mine. Think we're better down back with a fit Salem. It's a bugger his thyroid and body have let him down at times. His first quarter in the 21 GF was sublime.

Are we witnessing a re-build by stealth
Not at all, I’ve listed the young talent and we’re likely headed for another top ender this year. We’ve been unlucky to lose Brayshaw, have Oliver have a down year and then lose Petracca all at the same time. I think we’re going better than many realise and I was leaning toward pessimism at the start of this year.

Doesn’t need to be yet because bar Brayshaw they’re all still playing. On top of that you add Rivers, McVee, Windsor, JVR and potentially another top end draft pick and a good trade period and just maybe we’ve got the bones of the next Flag.

Please get off Clarry's back. Show some respect!
All fair enough except the last bit. He was excellent in Round 1 against the Dogs and was instrumental in our win against Port with a classic Oliver last quarter. The Swans have proven how good their midfield is so no shame in a below average showing there. Others have alluded to the impact his broken hand may of had. I’m expecting his form to improve as clearly he was poor against North. It’s a big game for many reasons this Friday night.

I’m not entirely opposed to trading him even though I see no way it could happen but this is a truly ridiculous post, perhaps the most ridiculous I have read here and I’ve posted some doozies!

Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
I’ve no doubt after what he’s been through retirement would have entered his mind, along with a million other things. Can’t see him retiring at 28. He’ll recover in mind and body and be raring to go on or maybe even before Round 1 2025. I think there’s some reading too much into his first interview. He’s raw, drugged up and probably not sleeping well. He’s a very sound human is Christian, I wish him all the best in his recovery.

I may be wrong but the swans did't trade any of those players....there are words and the there are actions.

One things for sure, if we trade him we’ll still be paying part of his contract. I’m open to it but can’t see it happening.
